about

 Milan is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer and mixer. Born and raised in Montréal to a Slovak mother and an African American/Cuban father, Milan began playing guitar in 1998. In his early teens, Milan performed improvised blues/rock electric guitar solos at various talent shows in Montreal and music festivals, including Montreal's International Blues and Reggae Festivals, and Tremblant's International Blues Festival.

 

In the early 2000s, Milan began recording and producing his own music using a BOSS BR-1180 digital recording studio, which he also used to make original backing tracks for his solo guitar performances. In 2008, Milan moved to Toronto, where he lived for 8 years, while getting his bachelor's of music degree at Humber College. Between 2017 and 2022 Milan lived in London, Bratislava and Prague; recording, writing, producing and playing shows. 

 

2019 brought the release of Milan's first album, titled 'Who Am I', which he produced, engineered and mixed on his own in East London.  The album was released on Slnko Records; a Slovak label. In 2020, Milan began releasing independently; starting with his EP ‘love&light' produced by Kristofer Harris and Nathanael Graham, followed by his 2021 album 'five hundred days.', produced by Kristofer Harris of the UK, as well as his own self-production. In June 2023, Milan released his third album titled 'ethos pathos logos', which features more of his own production, as well as Kris' touch. In 2023, Milan released 'Prague nights’ - a solo piano album, which he wrote and recorded on an upright piano in Prague. Milan's most recent 2024 release titled ‘Cayden’ is a self produced, recorded and mixed EP dedicated to a friend that died.
